Paid deposit today. Expect to collect it next week. Couldnt resist it when i saw it. This green sets of the z lines beautifully. A surgeon in Farnborough owned it vegore apparently. He's been the only owner. Highish price i suspect and was thinking of a coupe for ages, but the hard top package persuaded me. Now i need to put in some sort of nav that doesnt wreck the look/features and something for the ipod. Any ideas on which companies are good for this gratefully received. Car will be in Twickenham. Hat-tip to Marlon for some recent private advise. We do really need to find out how many 3 litre si roadsters are out there and what colours.

What is that called, Hunter Green? Maybe a custom job?

Based in Twickenham Taz. Not sure what green hue it is. I think its deep green. The same colour as the coupe sold in Bletchley earlier this year with the walnut dash. I went to see that too. I cannot believe why they dont offer this colour on the later lines. Maybe it will make a comeback. I guess sepang bronze wasnt overly popular when produced. Now look at it! Havent exactly negotiated with the other half where to store the hardtop.

New Here - just acquired a 2008 3.0si 6MT in Deep Metallic Green. It is hard to capture in pics. It's unusual. I like it. Mine is paired with the extended saddle/wood interior. Kinda kitchy, but looks rich. I'll see if I can embedd some decent daylight pics...
